Wyot shouted, his eyes reddening with emotion. “I will pay with my life if I can’t resolve this matter.”Jaime frowned, contemplating the gravity of Wyot’s words. Meanwhile, James and the others exchanged bewildered glances.“Mr. Jaime, since the Dravon War King has vowed with his life, let’s give him a chance,” Thea said coldly, cradling Thora. “But only this once. If he fails to provide a satisfactory explanation, the Dooms will no longer have a place in the Jademora Empire.”Her words were laced with strong, murderous intent, making her position clear. Should Wyot fail, she would ensure the destruction of the Dooms.Thea was furious. Although she had not participated in the creation of the Jademora Empire, her husband had founded it. She would not tolerate any villains sullying its reputation.Youcef sneered, “Count me in! The Greater Realms are becoming interesting, but we can’t let that interest turn to rot.”Yianni cast a meaningful glance at James and said firmly, “Me too.
Dong! Dong! Dong!In the fourth layer of the Forladtt Land, the ancient and heavy bell in the Doom Palace Hall echoed throughout the entire Dooms' territory. Its resonant tones brought all activity to a halt, as every member paused to listen.The bell tolled rhythmically, continuing for eighty-one strikes, its lingering sound reverberating through the area.The Chaos Bell was the most exquisite treasure of the Dooms, even more prestigious than the Chaos Sacred Lotus. Six rings indicated a significant event within the clan. Twelve rings meant a gathering of high-ranking officials for external war or the death of an elder. Twenty-four rings signified a critical juncture for the clan or the death of a great elder. Forty-nine rings indicated a crisis or the death of their leader. But eighty-one rings, the maximum, were unprecedented since the Dooms left the Dark World. In fact, it was the first time since their establishment.The Dooms were in an uproar, with creatures scurrying about
Hundreds of eyes scanned Yianni, Yaretzi, Thea, and even James, one by one. The group of Dooms’ high-ranking members frowned and finally directed their attention to Wyot. Upon seeing his attire, their faces contorted in confusion.At that moment, an elderly man with white hair suddenly stepped forward. “Wyot, did you request for someone to ring the Chaos Bell?”Wyot stared at him and replied coldly, “No, I rang it myself.”The group of high-ranking members immediately burst into an uproar, questioning his right to ring the Chaos Bell.Wyot had rarely involved himself in the Dooms’ affairs and seldom returned to their territory. He never fought for their interests. Consequently, in their eyes, he was an ungrateful and heartless man who had forgotten his roots.After a while, the elderly man looked at Wyot with a contemptuous smile. “What do you want, Wyot?”Wyot replied solemnly, “I’m calling for a Doom Conference to rectify our race’s affairs.”The elderly man tilted his head ba
Looking at the crowd of high-ranking Dooms members hurling mockery at him, Wyot's silence broke into an angry laugh. Raising his hand, a Bohnwer Light materialized into a phantom hand, which then grabbed the elderly man's neck, lifting him into the air.The group of high-ranking members was startled by the spectacle. Even James' group displayed surprised expressions."Wyot, you... cough!" the elderly man struggled to speak, "You're..."Wyot cut him off, "You’re the last senior elder within the Dooms. I’ve always treated you with respect, but that doesn’t give you the right to exploit it and act arrogantly.""You..."Wyot's tone turned icy, "I’ve never sought unreasonable benefits for the Dooms. But I will never forget that we were once just a group of ants struggling in a minor plane within the Dark World. Back then, we thought we had made it by being one of the top ten races."His gaze swept across the high-ranking members as he raised his voice, "James led us out of that tiny p
James was stunned to hear her name again. He looked in her direction and watched the beautiful woman struggle to climb up. Yet, aside from her appearance, everything about her was vastly different from the woman he knew in the past.Thea telepathically said, “I sense Waltraud’s power within her.”James nodded in response. He could sense that Yemima was a completely different person. Even if she had been reincarnated, it was impossible for her to possess Waltraud’s power.Yemima staggered and wiped the blood from her lips, glaring at Wyot angrily. “I’m your wife, Wyot! How could you...”Wyot interrupted her, “You’d better leave immediately. This is the Doom Ancestral Palace. The Chaos Bell is meant to summon the high-ranking members of our race, and you’re not one of them.”Yemima hissed, “You!”“Get out of here,” Wyot roared, preparing to attack again.Yemima shouted, “Beat me to death and kill the child in my womb then!”Wyot immediately halted in his tracks, staring at her in
The high-ranking members of the Dooms frowned in unison as they regarded Thora, an unfamiliar figure despite their recent destruction of the New Shahrzad Dynasty.Thora, visibly nervous, took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the assembly. “Honored seniors, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Thora, ruler of the Shahrzad Genesis World, under the command of the Jademora Empire.”She paused, letting her words sink in before continuing. “The New Shahrzad Dynasty, which I lead, has fought valiantly alongside the Solstice Alliance and participated in the Greater Realms’ war. The Jademora Empire granted us the Shahrzad Genesis World based on merit, and we did not establish it clandestinely…”As Thora recounted the history of her dynasty, a deep sorrow tinged her voice. The events were the same as she had previously shared with James and others. She described the Doom Army’s ruthless invasion, their merciless slaughter of her people, the plundering of resources, and the destruction o
The woman’s eyes gleamed with malice as she stared at Thora. “You’re quite beautiful. If you’re so desperate to cling to us, I could find you a talented member to take you as a concubine. However, the New Shahrzad Dynasty will be completely annihilated if you remain stubborn.”Thora was livid from the humiliation, and her strong emotions caused her to cough up a mouthful of blood.The high-ranking members of the Dooms exchanged knowing glances, their faces twisted into strange, amused smiles. Their whispers filled the Doom Ancestral Hall.“Yadira certainly is clever. After all, she served beside the Chancellor before.”“Indeed. She learned a lot after being trained by the Chancellor.”“That foolish girl must not value her life. How dare she come here and try to put on a show?”“We must investigate this situation. Someone must be backing her up. The mere ruler of the New Shahrzad Dynasty wouldn’t dare attempt such a stunt alone.”“I wonder how Wyot will handle this…”Amidst the
Yadira clutched her cheek, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Wyot. “You’ve conspired with outsiders and brought chaos into our territory. Aren’t you afraid of the Chancellor’s wrath?”Her words sparked indignation among the high-ranking members of the Dooms, who began to criticize Wyot.Amidst the uproar, Wyot’s fists trembled before a terrifying and potent aura burst from his body. A powerful wind surged through the hall, silencing the high-ranking members instantly as they struggled to withstand the force.Wyot’s voice boomed with authority. “I merely seek the truth. Are we truly as cruel, arrogant, heartless, and vicious as the Greater Realms claim? As leader of the Dooms, I have the right to know. Even if the Chancellor were here, I would still investigate this matter. I will shred whoever dares to take action within our holy land into pieces.”With a swift motion, Wyot raised his hand, and a terrifying sword light shot out. It circled the Dooms' high-ranking members
